[Elecraft] K3 Power Problem ??

[Dave G4AON]

100W measured on the following bands gives:

160m, 18.1 A
80m, 17.3A
40m, 22.5A
30m, 21.5A
20m, 20.5A
15m, 19.4A
10m, 17.5A
6m, 21.5A

These figures were with 13.5 ~ 13.4 Volts from my power supply as
measured on the K3's display (both for Amps and Voltage).

Power measurement into a 50 Ohm load with a calibrated LP-100 power meter.

Dave,

What current does your radio draw with 100w output?
